    "content": "County have been subjected to severe treatment by their neighbors, including recently when a young Maasai man who was busy grazing his cows was killed. This is a very serious matter because if we shy away from dealing with historical injustices, we will continue losing. A young man called Nelson Mandela was killed outside Marura Farm, which is a vast land located in Gilgil. The person who killed this young man does not even qualify to own a firearm. He was given a gun by the owner of this land, Mr. Francisca Marura. It is now important for us to follow up and find out when guns are given to these people, why are they allowed to vary and carry as many as 50 guns to protect their property. Nelson Mandela was killed on the highway causing a lot of tension in the community. The mother of Nelson Mandela is in this House today. She has gone to the police to seek justice. Traditionally, they cannot bury the dead until that matter has been resolved. As this House unites this country, we do not have to shy away from the issues of historical injustices. As I summarize on the issue of Natooli, this matter of land conflict between the Maasai, the Kalenjin and some Kikuyus who live in that area, can only be resolved if ADC come out clean on the amount of land they gave to the people, the process that they used to allocate it and how they will resolve it. Otherwise, we will continue having these conflicts that we will never resolve. Finally, I must commend the national Government for a swift action early last week and still this week when the road between Narok and Mai Mahiu had split into two and was rendered impassable. Some are saying that it is an easy way for us to get to Canaan. I commend particularly, Mr. Peter Mundia, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) for fixing that road in a record time of ten hours. We must recognize public servants who take their jobs seriously and ensure that people are not inconvenienced. I also commend and recognize the Principal Secretary (PS) for the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development for marshalling their efforts to ensure normalcy is restored. The Narok-Mai Mahiu Road serves quite a number of communities and counties. Therefore, we must appreciate the tremendous efforts made by the responsible authorities working on this road. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said when disaster befalls other regions within this country. Of much interest is the place called Enaramatishoreki which has a bridge that has been constructed year in, year out. Recently, because of the poor workmanship which sometimes we ignore in this House; that bridge was washed away. It has remained impassable for quite some time now. It poses danger to our people. For example, it is very sad that young children lost their lives on their way to school. The people who followed them to rescue them also lost their lives."
